kat - I'm not doing this to be mean...it is the only recipe that I could find for cuajitos. Seriously! I've been all over the web and this is it. Hopefully someone can translate it for you or find a better recipe.

Well I know it is about 2 years since you asked the question and here are the recipies for both the Cuajo and the green bananas en escabeche... hope it helps also cuajo is Hog maw and information can be found int here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hog_maw... well on with the recipie:

Cut the guineito with a knife by cutting off the ends of the
guineitos
and making a cut alond the outside curves of the guineito
skins, but DO
NOT remove the skins (don't cut your fingers)

Place the guineitos in boiling water and add 1 to 2
tablespoons of
salt and 2 teaspoons of oil to make them peel easier. Boil the
guineitos
for approximately 20 minutes on medium-low heat. If you boil
them too
long they will come apart. This is a Rican warning.

While the guineitos cook, make the escabeche sauce by
placing all
the rest of the ingredients into a pot. Stir them well and
place on
medium heat until the mixture gets hot. Then reduce the heat
to low
and cook for approximately 1 hour. Remove from heat and set
aside to
cool to room temperature. I can almost smell the sauce. Yum!

The guineito is done when you lightly stab it with a
toothpick and
it is tender but firm. Peel off the skins (which at this point
will
just slide off) and cut the guineitos into 1 inch size rounds
and put
them in a glass or "Tupperware" bowl. Add the sauce to the
guineitos.
Stir and mix well. Cover them and marinade them for at least
24 hours
at room temperature.

Extras

Guineitos are simple ordinary bananas but green without a hint
of yellow,
you will most likely have to buy them at a Latin American store
or a Puerto
Rican store. If you are going to use a lot of them for big
crowds call
your local produce vendor and ask for them to hold a case of
VERY green
bananas - ask them not to "gas" them and keep them refrigerated.

thank you alexv3....i had forgotten i had asked this question but better late than never! lol thanks for all the extra info on where to get the Guineitos...i appreciate the time you took to help me. :)
